Janus request processing

Since messages may come from different sources (plain HTTP, WebSockets, RabbitMQ and potentially even more in the future), we have a shared way to process messages: a method to process a request, and helper methods to return a success or an error message.

 Method to return an error Janus response message (JSON) to the browser.
 
Janus transport plugin management

The core doesn't support any transport for the Janus API by default. In order to be able to with external clients, transport plugins are needed, e.g., to provide support for REST HTTP/HTTPS, WebSockets, RabbitMQ or others. These transport plugins are shared objects that need to implement the interfaces defined in transport.h and as such are dynamically loaded by the server at startup, and unloaded when the server closes.

void janus_transport_close (void *key, void *value, void *user_data)
 Callback (g_hash_table_foreach) invoked when it's time to destroy a transport instance.
 
void janus_transportso_close (void *key, void *value, void *user_data)
 Callback (g_hash_table_foreach) invoked when it's time to close a transport plugin.
 
Janus event handler plugin management

The core doesn't notify anyone, except session originators, and only then only about stuff relevant to them. In order to allow for a more apt management of core and plugin related events on a broader sense, event handler plugins are needed. These event handler plugins are shared objects that need to implement the interfaces defined in eventhandler.h and as such are dynamically loaded by the server at startup, and unloaded when the server closes.

void janus_eventhandler_close (void *key, void *value, void *user_data)
 Callback (g_hash_table_foreach) invoked when it's time to destroy an eventhandler instance.
 
void janus_eventhandlerso_close (void *key, void *value, void *user_data)
 Callback (g_hash_table_foreach) invoked when it's time to close an eventhandler plugin.
 
Janus external logger plugin management

By default, Janus has integrated support for logging to stdout and to a static file. Custom and advanced logging can be accomplished using additional logger plugins. These logger plugins are shared objects that need to implement the interfaces defined in logger.h and as such are dynamically loaded by the server at startup, and unloaded when the server closes.

void janus_logger_close (void *key, void *value, void *user_data)
 Callback (g_hash_table_foreach) invoked when it's time to destroy a logger instance.
 
void janus_loggerso_close (void *key, void *value, void *user_data)
 Callback (g_hash_table_foreach) invoked when it's time to close a logger plugin.
 
Janus plugin management

As anticipated, the server doesn't provide any specific feature: it takes care of WebRTC-related stuff, and of sending and receiving JSON-based messages. To implement applications based on these foundations, plugins can be used. These plugins are shared objects that need to implement the interfaces defined in plugin.h and as such are dynamically loaded by the server at startup, and unloaded when the server closes.

void janus_plugin_close (void *key, void *value, void *user_data)
 Callback (g_hash_table_foreach) invoked when it's time to destroy a plugin instance.
 
void janus_pluginso_close (void *key, void *value, void *user_data)
 Callback (g_hash_table_foreach) invoked when it's time to close a plugin.
 
janus_pluginjanus_plugin_find (const gchar *package)
 Method to return a registered plugin instance out of its package name.
 

Detailed Description

Janus core (headers)

Author
Lorenzo Miniero loren.nosp@m.zo@m.nosp@m.eetec.nosp@m.ho.c.nosp@m.om

Implementation of the Janus core. This code takes care of the server initialization (command line/configuration) and setup, and makes use of the available transport plugins (by default HTTP, WebSockets, RabbitMQ, if compiled) and Janus protocol (a JSON-based protocol) to interact with the applications, whether they're web based or not. The core also takes care of bridging peers and plugins accordingly, in terms of both messaging and real-time media transfer via WebRTC.

◆ janus_is_webrtc_encryption_enabled()

gboolean janus_is_webrtc_encryption_enabled ( void )

Helper method to check whether WebRTC encryption is (as it should) enabled.

Note
This is required by the ICE and DTLS portions of the code to decide whether to do the DTLS handshake, and whether SRTP encryption is required. Disabling the WebRTC encryption is supposed to be a debugging tool you can use with the Chrome setting with the same name, --disable-webrtc-encryption , and you should NEVER use it otherwise (it would simply not work with regular WebRTC endpoints).
Returns
TRUE if WebRTC encryption is enabled (the default), and FALSE otherwise
